Cloud Forest, Costa Rica

Cloud Forest, Selvatura, Guanacaste, Costa Rica

Costa Rica has extensive natural cloud and rain forests in its protected
national parks. Towering trees merge into a vast canopy with a multiplicity of tree, epiphytes and creeper species growing through one another in
a fantastically complex ecosystem. Bell birds and howler monkeys can be heard (and sometimes seen) from suspension walkways that
thread through some of Costa Rica's major parks.
